Greets, peeps!
Cleaning off the camera today and sharing highlights from the last few weeks' Daddy/Annie dates (and a couple of good ones of J, for Mom's sake). Promise me you'll click on (enlarge) at least one of the water-only shots. The rain over Corpus Christi today left the bay a beautiful aqua-green. "It almost looks like we live on those fancy beaches in Florida," Bek said. Stunningly beautiful.
The other day I read a quote that said something to the effect of: "People get down because they compare other people's highlight reels to their own recurring bloopers." Maybe because I'm all too aware of our family's daily, living blooper reel, I hadn't ever worried much about that on this page. But just in case, to put the kibosh on your viewing these pics as highlights of an unreality, let me just say that 1) I am blessed beyond words to share life and love with Rebekah and the Bears, and 2) exactly because I know how difficult sharing that life can be, I hope the pictures witness grace: God breaking through in spite of ourselves and (God knows) far more than we deserve - or expect.
Peace always,
J+
